Madge sits down pelvic pain specialist Dr. Michael Lewis, OB-GYN, to learn more about these conditions and what you should do if you think you might have one.

1 in 10 women suffer from Endometriosos. Endometriosis is a chronic condition where the lining of the uterus implants itself within the pelvis, causing inflammation, scarring, adhesions and infertility.

Vaginismus is the involuntary contractions of the muscles around the vagina. This can happen with or without having sexual intercourse and can effect a person both emotionally and physically.

Vulvodynia is a general term to describe vulva discomfort.

Watch the video to learn more about these conditions. If you think you’re suffering from any of them, see your doctor immediately. If you have any questions for Madge the Vag, email her at Madge@scarymommy.com.
